Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the essential items needed to play football?
A jersey or shirt is required to play football, as are shorts with stockings. Shin guards and football boots, or cleats. Goalkeepers usually require additional equipment such as specialized glove and sometimes padded clothes to protect them when diving and jumping. It’s imperative for players to wear the correct attire to maintain safety and comply with the rules of the sport.
What factors should I consider when selecting a football?
Consider the material and construction when choosing a ball. For players 12 years and older, including adults, the size 5 is recommended.

Why do football players need to wear shinguards?
